I made a suggestion in a Pro puzzle but it got solved very quickly and maybe no-one saw it.

What I said was, wouldn't it be great if somewhere on the index pages of each section there could be another column, perhaps to the left of the Subject column, which had a thumbnail of the puzzle picture?

How many of us have stumbled on an answer we weren't looking for then gone looking for the puzzle we know is there to post the answer, only to spend hours on a fruitless wild goose chase?

It would be terrrific if you could see what the puzzle is without having to actually open each one individually..

It might not work for composite puzzles, but they are easy enough to find anyway.

Is it technically feasible?

You are not the first with idea. It is not feasible at this time.

Otto is working on a huge project, where is listing all the solved puzzles in a compendium.
when it will be finished, we have to find a way to make it manageable.

This version of SMF will need to be updated with NO loss to the database or it isn't going to happen.
